Me: My name is Joel Shine, I have experience in materials, building and design. I started this message board so that I would have a place to give one-on-one, direct, technical help to my customers. I hope it will become an asset to all that join.

My name is Steven and I've built 3 stitch and glue boats. It's an addiction with more to come.

Hi Joel, my name is Richard. I have built a couple of boats and have helped some other builders with painting and fairing. Good luck with your new venture

Hello. I'm Bob I live on Florida's treasure coast. I'm about to launch my first stich and glue boat, built with all the materials Joel sells. He's been my personal boat building coach. Good luck Joel!

Hey Guys, My name is Jim and I live in North Palm Beach Florida. I have built a stich and glue boat and rebuilt about a half dozen others. My current project is a 28 Bertram that I am converting to a Walk around center console. I have used the materials Joel is selling for the past 10 years and can attests to the quality and value. Joels guidance has been invaluable to me over the years and with it I have created many things I never thought I could!

Good luck Joel.

Welcome all. Thank you for signing up and posting

Hello my name is Tim. I live in Central Florida and have been rehabbing a 23 ft walk around with help from Joel. This is my first rebuild using fiber glass on a boat but have worked on many surfboards and corvettes growing up.
Glad to see your still living the dream Joel!

Hi all. I have one stitch and glue boat built and one under way. Joel has been a big help throughout!!...

I'm Seth in North Central FL, and I've built 1 stitch and glue boat. Joel and his team helped tremendously throughout that project, and the comradery gained from many other fellow boat builders along the way has been treasured. I'm excited to see this new venture being launched and expect nothing but greatness to come out of it.

Congrates Joel on your new venture My name is John and i am in the finnishing stages of my first boat .

Hi all! My name is Carl and I am currently rebuilding an Aquasport Flatback. I have done several glass repairs in both marine and aerospace. I will be using EMC paints from here, so I'll be starting a thread here shortly for the painting portion of my rebuild.

I had lurked with an occasional post on a different forum for several years and always found his knowledge to be among the best out there.

Therefore, I would also like to congratulate Joel on his new venture here and wish him massive success.

And another old friend joins us

Hey guys, I'm Todd from Louisiana. With Joel's help and many others here before me, I built a Flats Stalker 18 last year.  I have had a 20 twin vee for several years and am ready to make it new again. So I will be starting a thread soon. Thanks for all your help, in advance!

Hello Joel my name is Patrick and I live in Stuart, Fl. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 17' Cobia. Thanks for this site and I can't wait to get some help and guidance from yourself and others on your site. You tube video's of project
